So, I ended up getting it. Anyone got a running system that can try to read the data off of it?

I think I was the sole user of the B1965 at their Lake Forest (Orange County) California office in '88-89. I was surrounded in my cubicle by all of the disk packs for that system. My favorite systems while at Burroughs was the B1000s.
